What I did for my anodized rims, I've done a nimbus and ody bmx rim, is
sand them with a really low grit. This will help the paint stick, it
takes a long while if your going to do it this way. After that I primed
them with 2 coats, very thin, then wet sanded and added another coat
then wet sanded again. After that was dry I applied 2 coats of paint, I
still need to finish haha. I'll wetsand it alot since it has got beaten
up laying around my room, then I'll add the clear coat. Get some super
fine wet sand, I forget what mine is, but it's fine enough to give a car
a mirrior finish, it'll make that clear coat sparkle. I would wet sand
between every clear coat.

There is the easy way and then the hard way. This is the hard way, but
it works very well if you want to put in the effort:
